…How Her “Anti-Advertising” Scheme is Working Nichole Boye, Eric Lora BA 493
The Story • Big Production value marketing campaigns are used in the Music Industry • Norah Jones has managed to sell massive numbers of albums without the benefit of advertising hype, image mongering and grandiose musical offerings
What She’s Doing Right • Online song downloads/previews • Limited Commercials • Blogs/ Word of mouth • Reviews in Magazines • Sheet Music (Guitar and Piano)
The Results • Eight Grammy Awards • Debut Album sold 10,000 copies in first week. • Went on to sell 18 Million Copies • Her Follow Up sold 1+ Million in first week • Jones seems unimpressed with the trappings of fame and fortune.
Application • Very large and broad target audience • Jones represents a lesson to the youth-obsessed music industry • She appeals to 7 year olds to 70. • The music industry has changed and is still evolving • Is this the future?
